This is a screen shot of what it does now, the multiple screen issue has
not happened since about alpha2 but still major issues with this compiz
plugin.

As you can see from the screen-shot it gets stuck while in maximised
form.

Its not 100% reproducible but do the following it it is likely to
happen.

Turn on wobbly windows
open any window
move it to another window
maximise the window
Activate windows switcher 
move the mouse around (it will bend like it is stuck to it.

hope that makes sense!
